Is it better to use abdomen band or gauze after delivery?
Postpartum abdomen is actually not only the need of body, but also related to health. Body distortion and various visceral ptosis diseases are all caused by the fact that after giving birth to a child, a woman's stomach is loosened by the fetus and can't return to the state before pregnancy, resulting in too large abdominal space and the viscera can't return to its original position, leading to visceral ptosis. Therefore, in present life, some women will choose to gird their abdomen or wrap their waist and abdomen with gauze after delivery, so as to fine-tune the integrity or speed up the recovery of abdominal muscles, thereby reducing the abdominal space and preventing visceral sagging.
However, when women choose items for tummy tuck, must they choose gauze or tummy tuck belt? Generally speaking, gauze is chosen because of its good air permeability, and the tightness can be adjusted as needed.
Compared with gauze, the air permeability of abdominal belt is worse, but it is very inconvenient for some people who need to tie gauze themselves without monthly care. At this time, the choice of abdominal belt can reduce the troubles of lying-in women, and the abdominal belt has better effect and is more conducive to the recovery of the body.
To sum up, both of them have a certain effect of reducing abdomen, but they should be considered well in choice. Gauze and abdominal band can help postpartum abdominal muscles recover and fine-tune the overall shape, and prevent visceral sagging. The purpose of using gauze is to breathe more, but it is of little use to physical recovery. It is best to use a special abdominal belt.
Postpartum recovery should be what many mothers want, and it is also a health need. Abdominal reduction can effectively prevent visceral sagging. Therefore, it is very important to choose an effective method to reduce abdomen. Gauze is more breathable, but the effect of reducing abdomen is not as good as that of reducing abdomen belt, so it needs help from others when using it. So everyone can choose as appropriate.

When should I use the abdomen band?
1, the mother who used the abdominal belt one month after delivery suggested using the abdominal belt after delivery. Because there are still a lot of body fluids such as blood stasis and gas in the postpartum mother's abdomen, it needs to be naturally eliminated through the circulation of the body. If the binding band is used too early, it will only limit the blood circulation in the body, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia in the body and the smooth breathing. Not good for organ recovery. In addition, premature use of the abdominal belt will also stress the pelvis, which may force the soft pelvis to expand outward, which is not conducive to the recovery of the pelvis. Therefore, it is suggested that mothers who give birth naturally should start to use pelvic correction belt after their body recovers better after delivery, and then use special abdomen belt to give birth naturally after delivery 1 month to help shape.
2. Cesarean section can be used immediately after caesarean section, which can fix the wound. After caesarean section, the abdominal organs are affected by invasive surgery, so it is necessary to use the special abdominal belt for caesarean section to fix the wound immediately after the operation to promote wound healing and prevent visceral sagging. At this time, the nursing function of abdominal belt is greater than that of body shaping. Therefore, when choosing the abdominal belt for caesarean section, the mother should not blindly tighten the size, but choose a special abdominal belt for caesarean section with good permeability and comfortable wearing, and can freely adjust the tightness according to the position and recovery degree of the caesarean section wound. At the same time, the pelvic correction belt can be used at the same time to help the pelvis recover to the prenatal size as soon as possible. Reminder: Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, the mother can switch to a reinforced abdominal belt within 6 weeks to 6 months after delivery at the earliest.
